According to CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) data, Arizona State Veteran Home-Phx holds an overall star rating of 1 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. This overall rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, indicating a higher number or severity of cited deficiencies compared to national norms. The staffing rating is 4 out of 5, reflecting staffing levels that compare favorably to national averages across nursing and aide categories. The quality measure rating is 4 out of 5, which indicates that clinical quality indicators at this facility, such as rates of hospitalizations, pressure ulcers, and other tracked outcomes, perform above the national average. CMS star ratings are updated periodically and are intended to give consumers a general sense of facility performance across multiple dimensions. Arizona State Veteran Home-Phx is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. As a state-operated veterans home, it may also coordinate with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible residents. Individuals seeking admission are advised to contact the facility directly at (602) 248-1550 to confirm current payment policies, eligibility requirements, and bed availability. Payment and coverage terms may differ depending on residency status and payer source. When comparing this facility to national benchmarks, the profile presents a mixed picture. The overall star rating of 1 out of 5 is notably below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by the 1-star health inspection rating, which suggests a pattern of inspection findings that regulators have flagged with concern. By contrast, the staffing and quality measure ratings of 4 out of 5 each indicate that the facility performs above average in day-to-day staffing levels and clinical outcome measures. This divergence between the inspection rating and the operational ratings is not uncommon and may reflect administrative or compliance factors rather than direct care delivery alone. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review the full CMS inspection reports available through the federal Nursing Home Care Compare database for a detailed accounting of any cited deficiencies.
